„"Consumers are converging, they're thinking alike, they're aspiring for similar products," said Ravi Deol, Barista's chief executive. "Tea drinking nations like Britain and Japan have been converted to coffee drinking, and Indian consumers are seeking similar lifestyles." Corner bars like these are offering more than just coffee and snacks to their customers. For many of their regular patrons, a visit to these bars is also a part of the western lifestyle they so much want to identify with.“

„I never teach milk to a new trainee, and all my baristas work in teams. A new barista works the shot making side of the machine, while the other steams milk and runs the cash register and supervises the newcomer's coffee for a few weeks. When I see that they are getting a feel for the coffee we go into milk, details of the cuisine, etc.. It usually takes about 4 weeks for a barista to be allowed to solo on a bar while their partner takes a break or does dishes.“

„Many experts believe that such an understanding can be gained through experience, but for those who prefer a more traditional training, programs such as those offered at the Barista College in Australia are the ideal alternative. As the only independent training ground in the art of coffee making outside of Italy, the college is dedicated to providing its students with the necessary qualifications and experience necessary in order to become a skilled coffee professional. With an emphasis placed on both the production and consumption of excellent coffee, Barista College offers a variety of courses that deal with topics ranging from the types, cultivation, and history of coffee to the different roasting and grinding methods to demonstrations of the highest level of silver service presentation.“
